Centro-matic - Take Pride In Your Long Odds (2014)

Based in Denton, Texas, Centro-matic began in 1995 as a home recording project for singer/songwriter and guitarist Will Johnson. Seventeen years and 10 albums later the band is getting ready to release their 11th studio album in June of 2014. Johnson and his compatriots Scott Danbom (keyboards, vio- lin, harmonies) Matt Pence (drummer, producer), Mark Hedman (bass, guitar) have made yet another incredible album. Always approaching recording with new ideas the band has done it again with Take Pride In Your Long Odds. Two years since their last album Candidate Waltz, Take Pride In Your Long Odds finds the band refreshed and excited to play again with their infectious exuber- ance and vigor. Johnson cant stop, wont stop, shouldnt ever stop. - Spin Will Johnson may be one of the hardest-working people in indie rock. - NPR Centro-Matic is my favourite band that is still vital and intact. - Patterson Hood of Drive - By Truckers Will Johnson is nothing if not prolific.
